Across the vast landscape of college football, many trophy games exist, but only some of them own a long and enduring history. Many trophy games are artificial creations bereft of the passion which ought to belong to a backyard battle. Floyd of Rosedale, however, is one of the legitimate trophy games. Minnesota’s players were very […]

Minnesota’s Maxx Williams put on a show in the first half of the Golden Gophers’ game against Iowa. Williams helped stake Minnesota to a 35-7 halftime lead with catches (plural) such as this one, and yes, he made more of these:

Scoring “through the air” doesn’t have to refer to the passing game, as North Carolina State quarterback Jacoby Brissett showed in this run against Georgia Tech:

The Student Section Top 26 concludes with the top four teams in the nation. For those of you who thought a top 26 was a bit of a cop out, look at the AP Poll: 26 teams. We happen to be geniuses. To read even more of our genius work, Steve Fetch and I have […]

See that cover photo? It’s not just a photo of Lou Holtz celebrating Notre Dame’s 1988 national title, the most recent in the program’s storied history. The Fighting Irish conducted their celebration in not just any location — they partied in January of 1989 on a piece of turf known as Sun Devil Stadium. Yes, […]

We don’t usually cover recruiting on this site but sometimes there is an interesting angle that’s just too good to pass up. The Georgia Bulldogs have been up and down this season on the field but that hasn’t stopped them from racking up with commitments for the 2015 season. This morning, five-star prospect Rashad Roundtree […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers had their first meeting way back in 1895. Alabama holds the edge in the series 48-25-5, with the Tide winning three straight and five of seven. This has been a long rivalry with twists and turns, but I want to focus on the recent 2011 season in which […]

There’s a lot to say about this upcoming Saturday in college football. We’ve already said a lot about it at The Student Section. We’ve looked at this blockbuster day through the lens of media visibility. We’ve looked at Notre Dame-Arizona State. We’ve looked at Ohio State-Michigan State. We’ll have more on the day in the hours […]

Nike is zooming around in a helicopter that looks like it should be transporting the President of the United States and delivering equipment to high school football teams. This is certainly the most distinctly American thing I’ve seen today. Nike just dropped a care package off for the Moeller football team …. In a helicopter pic.twitter.com/vChLwZcSes […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect It’s a Big Ten “playoff for the playoff” this weekend in East Lansing, which I guess is the way this whole playoff thing was supposed to make us feel (what with its devaluing of the regular season or maybe not doing that), but who really knows? Regardless of the […]

Usually at this time of the week, The Student Section puts forth a viewer’s guide for the coming college football Saturday, offering four to six games in the noon, 3:30, and 7 p.m. Eastern time windows, all ranked in terms of watchability. However, this week, there’s no need for that sort of guide. Unless you’re […]

If you look at the topics discussed by The Student Section’s lead college basketball writers, whom you got to know yesterday, you’ll notice that the Mid-Atlantic region of the country and the state of Texas figure prominently in this first collection of the season’s more intriguing questions. We’re going to discuss a lot more about […]

The NCAA just released a video of the “Best Five Student Sections” so I figured since the name of this site is “The Student Section” we should probably take a look at what they came up with….
This missed field goal by Georgia’s Marshall Morgan began a long slide for UGA, known in yoga parlance as “downward Dawg,” but before that miss, Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo made the play calls which fundamentally changed the trajectory of the Cocktail Party.

This weekly survey of the absurdities in the college football world normally acquires the form of a look back at various in-game developments. This past weekend, we saw Pittsburgh head coach Paul Chryst fail to center the ball for a short field goal at the end of regulation in the Panthers’ game against Duke. Pittsburgh’s […]

Every team in the Big 12 this year played a non-conference game against a Power 5 opponent, save for one. Baylor, the defending conference champ, played Northwestern State and SMU in Waco. The Bears’ toughest test? A Friday night game at Buffalo. Baylor’s preseason diet of cupcakes helped the Bears fatten up on easy Ws. […]
